Parish life is at the heart of the Church and is the place where the Christian Faithful encounter the Lord Jesus. Catholic parishes in New Hampshire are quite diverse. Each parish is led by a pastor appointed by the Bishop of Manchester. The pastor is responsible for the animation of the parish and for engaging the members of the parish in the mission and ministry of the Lord.

Bishop McCormack has devoted a great deal of his pastoral ministry to enhancing further development of vibrant parish life in New Hampshire. Bishop McCormack has written a pastoral letter regarding parish life titled One With Christ.
